Modern apple breeding strategies are mainly considering the most advanced selections and cultivars as parents. This tends to lead to a narrowed genetic basis. The introgression of traditional varieties and accessions of the gene pool is often feared due to undesirable characteristics that might be incorporated. However, there is scope for considering a wider genetic basis in apple breeding to support sustainable fruit production systems. The focus at Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil (ACW) is put on high fruit quality combined with low susceptibility to scab (Venturia inaequalis), fire blight (Erwinia amylovora), and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha). The Swiss scab and fire blight resistance research programs are focused on developing and applying... |

The EU project Hidras (High Quality Disease Resistant Apples for a sustainable agriculture, QLK5-CT-2002-01-01492) aims to identify genetic factors controlling apple fruit quality with the objective of increasing the acceptability of disease resistant apples. At Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil (ACW) we are performing ex-pert panel tests and consumer tests. The consumer inquiry during the public fair BEA 2005, end of April 2005 in Bern, Switzerland, resulted in comprehensive information on consumption trends in apple for dif-ferent age groups. This work is coordinated with partners in Poland and Belgium. All the age groups consid-ered flavour, juiciness and firmness as very important quality criteria for apples. The preference of apples to other fruit such... |
